i love the factional reality of bringing back a little something from your travels, currently the world thanks everyone who brought back a little variant from their trip to Brazil, South Africa or England
So yes it is beautiful the inoculum when they are positive, it is less so when it is negative except that when we report something, we do not know what we are reporting
with the current pandemic, being still to move things to increase biodiversity, is to forget a little quickly, all those who would prefer that the little more biodiversity that killed them remains where it was ... either in nature and that it does not pass to Man
so yes the story is beautiful, well told, but so full of complicit innocence, too little for me
The problem is, if we were to follow your logic, we would have to close our borders, and hide at home. This is not the logic of life. Even before there were planes, there was trade, and epidemics circulated.
Regarding invasive species, the problem is that they come to us and destabilize our ecosystems, but their natural regulators are slow in coming. The logic of Hervé Coves is that the extension of the area of species is part of the logic of life, and that it is futile to fight against, and that it is necessary, on the contrary, to amplify it, in order to let natural regulatory mechanisms do their job.
Moreover, the logic of moving species was not invented by humans; this has always existed, except that before it was done mainly by birds and mammals (especially if they are migratory).
15000 years ago, there was not much like life in Europe, life made its reconquest from the South and the East following the deglaciation, and suddenly, our ecosystems are still very young and unstable. ; over the past 12000 years, there has been regular destabilization of the ecosystem by the arrival of a new species, followed by further stabilization; and there is no reason for it to stop today.
But what I'm saying does not apply to islands that have evolved in isolation such as New Caledonia or New Zealand, where the arrival of a new species can have a really destructive effect, and in which case it is better to protect the existing.
